How do I know this, because I was sitting on the R/H seat instructing a new capt. Thank almighty we made ALIVE that day
More to the point, what in the name of Hades did that Captain think he was doing pulling full aft while trying to turn off the PRIMs?

That said - the lack of proper training for flight crew in terms of how the systems affect the aircraft is nothing new - wasn't a contributing factor to the Adam Air 574 crash down to the Captain not realising that the systems should not be reset without the aircraft being straight and level?
